Protein is super important, yaar! Actually, I survived on sprouts bhel, paneer bhurji, and boiled eggs because they are so easy to make. You can also try Greek yogurt or just a simple glass of sattu water. Just keep rotating your options so you don't get bored!
Great question! For protein, you can easily include paneer, tofu, green moong sprouts, eggs, and cooked chicken or fish if you eat non-veg. Also, a handful of soaked almonds and a glass of milk daily work wonders. Try to include a small portion of protein in every meal for best results.
You are doing such an amazing job trying to eat healthy for your little one, touchwood! I remember being so worried about baby's weight, but loading up on curd, roasted chana, and milk really helped. Keep going, mama, you are nurturing a beautiful life!
My doctor told me that we need around 70-80 grams of protein daily during pregnancy. So I did my research and added sattu drinks, paneer, sprouts, and chicken breast to my diet. If you are vegetarian, combining rice with dal or eating quinoa also provides complete proteins, as per my gynac's diet chart.
When I was at my mum's place, she used to make me eat fresh paneer, boiled eggs, and different types of dals every single day. My dad also got me almonds and walnuts to soak overnight. Eating simple, home-cooked family meals is the best way to get your daily protein.
